Crude Finally Starts Cooling, FIIs Turn Buyers! Can Nifty Hold 23,150–23,200 and Set Up a Buy-on-Dips Move? Indian markets enter the new week with a cautiously constructive setup. The biggest positive is that crude oil has started cooling from its recent extreme levels, although it remains elevated and geopolitical developments continue to create volatility. At the same time, FIIs returned as net buyers in the cash market in the last session, while DIIs also remained buyers. --->Crude Oil: Still High, But Gradually Cooling Crude remains the biggest macro risk for Indian equities. ---->FIIs Turn Buyers The latest institutional data provides another encouraging signal. Cash Market — 18 September 2026 • FII: +₹599.54 crore • DII: +₹1,019.69 crore After several sessions of heavy foreign selling, FIIs turning net buyers is worth monitoring. ---->Nifty Support Zone Key Support: 23,150–23,200 This is the most important zone to watch in the coming sessions. If Nifty continues to defend this area: • Buying on dips can emerge ---->Bank Nifty Support Key Support: 55,500–55,800 Bank Nifty is also approaching an important support area. As long as this zone holds, banking stocks could participate in any broader market recovery. Watch: •

• ICICI Bank ---->Why Buy on Dips Could Become Relevant The setup is gradually changing. Earlier: High Crude + FII Selling = Pressure Now: Crude Cooling + FII Buying = Potential Relief --->Stocks & Sectors in Focus Crude-Sensitive Stocks If crude continues to cool, these sectors could benefit from lower input costs: • InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) • Asian Paints • Berger Paints ---->Bottom Line Crude is gradually cooling, FIIs have returned as buyers and DIIs continue to provide support. This creates a more constructive setup for the coming sessions. Key Levels: Nifty → 23,150–23,200 Support Bank Nifty → 55,500–55,800 Support
